🌎”EVERYBODY HAS THE CAPACITY TO BE REMARKABLE.”🌍
~ Michael Young, SSE Founder • Our Co-Director Elaine has been away this week exercising her brain cells and sharing the 4Motion vibes! Here is her reflection from the 2-day course........ • My brain is on overdrive! I’m topped up with ideas, motivation and inspiration after starting the 1-year Trade Up Programme with the Cornwall School for Social Entrepreneurs(SSE) on Wednesday. Wow, what a group of inspiring people, so many fearless social entrepreneurs going out there to make the world a better place. I’m so excited to immerse myself in this learning journey, sharing insights and dreaming big again with Dean and the 4Motion Loading Bay Café team. As creatives we often get swept up in the fun world of teaching, delivering projects and performances, so I’m really looking forward to unpacking, understanding and growing a solid social enterprise business that harnesses and supports people to realise their remarkable potential. • Thank you SSE for a great 2-days of learning and inspiring 🙏🏻☺️. • • #socialentrepreneurship #socialenterprise #enterprise #socialmission #dreambig #anythingispossible #shakingthingsup #businessmodels #business #4motion #4motionisgrowing

“Arts subjects being squeezed out in schools means the education system is failing to produce well-rounded, creative children, said the head of Arts Council England, Sir Nicholas.”
We are big advocates of creative learning through dance, wellbeing, art and cultural experiences, and have been sadden to witness the current education system reduce (in a lot of cases completely remove) these creative opportunities to learn over the years.
It’s refreshing to read an article that a...cknowledges the demise of creativity in education system and the reasons way it’s so important.
